Actor Vivan Bhathena is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘120 Bahadur’, and he shared he was previously unaware of the Battle of Rezang La before embarking on this project.

A Life-Changing Experience

The film pays tribute to the valiant Ahir soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment, who sacrificed their lives in the Battle of Rezang La. For Vivan, this journey turned into a transformative experience.

As the release of 120 Bahadur approaches, he reflected on how he became involved with the film. “When I was called in for the audition, I didn’t know much about the story at all. It was during that meeting that I first heard about the Battle of Rezang La, and honestly, I was taken aback. I had no idea that such an incredible chapter even existed in our history,” he remarked.

Honoring the Brave Soldiers

The film pays homage to the brave soldiers who displayed unmatched courage during the battle. Vivan further emphasized, “The more I listened, the more I realized how important it was for this story to reach audiences. That’s when I decided to dig deeper and start researching the battle to understand what really happened, who these soldiers were, and what they stood for. From what I gathered, many of these Ahir boys came straight from farms. They were used to warm climates and had never experienced such extreme cold. Being stationed in those brutal mountain terrains for the first time was a shock to their bodies, yet they fought with unimaginable mental and physical strength. They adapted, endured, and stood their ground without hesitation.”

For Vivan, preparing for this role became a mission to embody the spirit of real-life heroes. “Later, when I met Razy, our director, he told me I was a perfect fit for the character he had envisioned. That’s how I became Surja Ram, one of the brave soldiers of 120 Bahadur,” he added.

Global sensation Priyanka Chopra has never been one to mince her words. In the early days of her career, during her appearance on “Rendezvous with Simi Garewal,” she candidly expressed that there were times she wished to be a guy.

As she was getting her hair styled, an agitated Priyanka was overheard saying, “It is so difficult being a girl. I wish I was a guy sometimes. No stress. Just throw a pair of jeans and T and come.”

When host Simi Garewal pointed out that even guys have their share of challenges these days, PeeCee quickly countered, saying, “They can never do as much as we do. We have to stay so stiff so one curl doesn’t go out of place.”

In a lighthearted moment during their conversation, a crew member interrupted for a touch-up, reinforcing Priyanka’s point.

Recalling this fun moment from the chat show, Simi Garewal shared on her official Instagram handle, “RENDEZVOUS GEMS! Priyanka Chopra. #Throwback. She doesn’t ‘sit still’ anymore. She is ubiquitous. She is Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She is a global star – on the covers of magazines, on screens, and in our hearts. It is we who ‘sit still’ in awe while applauding her phenomenal success! #RendezvousGems.”

On the work front, Priyanka will soon appear as the leading lady in SS Rajamouli’s much-anticipated film, “Globetroter,” where she will share screen space with Tollywood star Mahesh Babu for the first time.

Recently, the makers unveiled a powerful first look poster of PeeCee from the drama. Welcoming Priyanka to the project, the ‘RRR’ maker stated, “The woman who redefined Indian cinema on the global stage. Welcome back, Desi Girl! @priyankachopra Can’t wait for the world to witness your myriad shades of MANDKINI. #GlobeTroter.”

Heartwarming Interactions

Salman shared a touching video on the Stories section of his official Instagram, showcasing him warmly greeting a large crowd of young admirers eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved star. The happiness on his face clearly reflected his joy in engaging with the little fans.

About “The Battle of Galwan”

This film is a cinematic adaptation of the Battle of Galwan, which was an intense confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020 within the disputed border region of Ladakh. In the absence of firearms, the soldiers fought using their hands, sticks, and stones. This clash marked the first fatalities in the Sino-Indian border conflict in almost 45 years.

Some months ago, the makers unveiled the intriguing first-look poster of the film, heightening anticipation for this drama. In the poster, Salman appears fierce in a rugged battle avatar, his face bloodied and his eyes filled with intense determination. Accompanying the image, the text read, “Over 15,000 feet above sea level, India fought its most brutal battle without firing a single bullet.”

Current Engagements

Meanwhile, Salman is currently in Qatar for his “Da-Bangg: The Tour Reloaded” show in Doha, where he is joined by Jacqueline Fernandez, Tamannaah Bhatia, Stebin Ben, Sunil Grover, Prabhu Deva, and Maniesh Paul. The show took place on November 14 at the Asian Town Amphitheatre in Doha.

In addition to his tour, Salman is also hosting the reality show “Bigg Boss 19”.

Bollywood star Kajol recently celebrated Children’s Day on November 14 by sharing a heartfelt and humorous post on her social media account.

Accompanying the post were pictures with her two children, son Yug and daughter Nysa Devgn. Kajol wrote an adorable caption: “It’s Children’s Day, and today I can say that ‘that is a lot of work’, but when it goes well, it’s the best feeling in the world… Here’s to all kids today and to all those amazing parents who love them… Can we just shrink them after 8pm, pls?”

Kajol, a proud mother, has a daughter, Nysa, who is in her early 20s, and a teenage son, Yug. Recently, in a new episode of “Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle,” a talk show hosted by Kajol and Twinkle Khanna, filmmaker Farah Khan joined them for an open discussion. During this conversation, Farah shared an inspiring story about Kajol’s remarkable commitment, highlighting how the actress returned to work just one month after giving birth.

Farah recalled that Kajol had already welcomed her baby when filming a song for “Kal Ho Naa Ho,” in which she made a cameo appearance. The choreographer explained that she had to create the dance moves with careful consideration, noting, “Kajol had just given birth. And then you only shot like this — I had to give her a step above the tummy. She literally came back to shoot within a month after giving birth. That’s amazing.”

Farah commended Kajol’s dedication, reinforcing how incredible it was for the actress to be back on set so soon after her delivery. Kajol has previously discussed her life’s challenges, revealing that she was pregnant during the filming of “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.” Unfortunately, around the film’s release, she experienced a miscarriage and later endured another, describing that period as one of the most emotionally taxing times of her life.
